Particularly chilling is the photo titled 'Buchenwald Horror Camp' where the accompanying text reads 'Most remarkable were the incidents of human skin. Here is a close up of tattooed and tanned skin. The wife of a Nazi director had a peculiar hobby: when a prisoner was brought in who was tatooed, he was brought in and undressed for her inspection. If she liked his tattooing, he was killed and the piece of skin tanned. She would make purses of it. Once she made a lamp with a large tattooed lampshade. The base of the lamp is made of human bones. Most of the prisons contained political or Jewish prisoners'
